A carousel session, working on the physical endurance of the players, finishing, dribbling, passing, jumping, heading, communication and 1 on 1 dribbling.

12 minutes per drills, once finished they will move on to the next station and so on.

1. This drill is a simple game of head tennis. Rules- one bounce, 3 touches per team, if the ball bounce twice the team who hit the ball win the points and the area size is the centre cirle if the ball lands out side of the circle its a point to the opposing team. (Heading and communication)

2. Once again this is a simple drill, the player will dribble in and out of the poles then pass the ball into the rebound box and shoot with a minimum of one touch trying to avoid the mannequins. (Dribbling, passing and finishing)

3. Doing the ladder runs alternatively each time and thenjumping the first two small hurdles and finishing with the large hurdle. (Endurance)

4. Tire running, this wont be the entire time of the 12 minutes, it will be 6 minutes on and a 6 minute rest due to the players possibly fatiguing. (Endurance)

5. 2v2 Small sided game. (Dribbling, passing, some finishing and combination plays)

Cool down (10 mins)

A simple cool down, a few very light jogs across the pitch, including things such as lunges, open and closing the gate, side steps and more.

After that the players can go into some static stretches to help so there is no aching pains the following day.
